Lei Jun appears with a Xiaomi Mi Mix Alpha

Can a smartphone have a screen with more than 100% utilization? It seems that Xiaomi will prove that it is, and is betting on 180% of use. Only a thin line housing the triple camera array is left out. And none other than the almighty CEO of the manufacturer, Lei Jun, showed up with the model in hand in the city of Madrid, Spain, and ended up being questioned by fans of the brand. On the screen, there is a Galaxy Note-style sidebar, bringing shortcuts for connectivity, battery, Bluetooth, among others.

Lei Jun was using the device, and he offered the audience the opportunity to see him live, talking about how difficult it was to produce the device. The Xiaomi Mi MIX Alpha is expected to launch in China for around US$2.800. The CEO said that production should start in December on a small scale, and that there are still some issues to be resolved.

One of these problems that Xiaomi still needs to solve to launch the device is the difficulty of designing the screen, which occupies practically the entire surface of the device, and how it will be fixed in case of any failures or breaks.

In addition to the surprising screen, another feature draws attention: The main camera of the Mi Mix Alpha is 108 MP and f/1.69 aperture, along with another 20MP wide-angle camera and f/2.2 aperture, and a telephoto lens with f/2 aperture. . The maximum resolution of the photos can reach 12032 x 9024 pixels, that is, with it it will be possible to make photos in 8K.

The processor must be a Snapdragon 855 Plus, considered the best processor today, combined with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The battery should have a capacity of 4050mAh, and support 40W fast charging.
